Cleaning And Maintenance - Fagor LUX 360 Manuel D'utilisation

UNDER PRESSURE, THIS CAN RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
WARNING: NEVER DEEP FRY OR PRESSURE FRY IN THE MULTI-COOKER. IT IS
DANGEROUS AND MAY CAUSE A FIRE AND SERIOUS DAMAGE.
9. When the cooking time ends, the unit will beep and switch to the KEEP WARM
function, which will be displayed on the screen as
periodically to let you know that there is a pressure inside the unit. Once you
release the pressure, the unit will stop beeping and will remain on the KEEP WARM
function. Press the START/STOP button to cancel the program.
10. After the cooking time is up, release the pressure. You have two options for
releasing the pressure:
a. Quick Release Method: Release the pressure immediately by turning the
pressure regulator knob to STEAM.
CAUTION: THE STEAM COMING OUT OF THE COOKER WILL BE HOT, AND
MIGHT CONTAIN DROPLETS OF HOT LIQUID. BE SURE TO USE POT HOLDERS,
OVEN MITTS OR A KITCHEN TOWELWHEN RELEASING PRESSURE.
b. Natural Release Method: Release the pressure by shutting the unit off
completely. This allows the pressure to drop naturally without turning the pressure
regulator knob to STEAM. This will take several minutes, during which the food
inside will continue cooking. Some recipes (such as quinoa) benefit from this extra
cooking time. You will know when the pressure has been released because the
floating valve will drop and you will be able to open the lid.
11. Once all the pressure is released, remove the lid by turning it clockwise, lifting it up
and tilting it away from yourself to avoid getting burnt by any remaining steam or
hot water condensation dripping from the inner portion of the lid.
WARNING: AFTER COOKING, THE REMOVABLE COOKING POT WILL BE HOT.
USE POT HOLDERS, OVEN MITTS OR A KITCHEN TOWEL TO HANDLE IT OR LET
IT COOL DOWN BEFORE REMOVING.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Do not wash any parts of the multi-cooker in the dishwasher except for the removable
cooking pot. Always wash the removable cooking pot thoroughly after every use, or if it
has not been used for an extended period of time.
1. Unplug the multi-cooker and let the unit cool before cleaning.
2. Remove the removable cooking pot and wash with warm soapy water or in the
dishwasher. Hand washing is always recommended. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
3. Wipe the body of the unit with a clean damp cloth and rinse the lid with warm water
and soap. Do not submerge the multi-cooker or the lid in water.
NOTE: To remove odor from the inside of the lid, clean it with water and vinegar
(1:1 ratio).
4. Remove the condensation reservoir by pulling it down. Wash with warm, soapy
water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace by pushing it back into place.

5. Turn the lid upside down; grip the silicone gasket and pull up to remove. Clean
the silicone gasket with warm soapy water. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Replace the
gasket by positioning it inside the edge of the lid and pushing it down. Make sure
the groove in the center of the gasket is positioned around the metal ring on the
inside edge of the lid.
NOTE: The silicone gasket must always be properly positioned on the underside of the
lid; otherwise the unit will not work. Check periodically to make sure that it is clean,
flexible, and not cracked or torn. (See "Getting Started" section in this manual.)
6. If the silicone gasket appears damaged, cracked or torn, do not use the unit and
contact the Fagor Customer Service Department at 1-800-207-0806 or visit the
Fagor website to purchase a new silicone gasket at www.fagoramerica.com.
7. For optimal performance, the inside of the cooker, in the area under the removable
cooking pot where the temperature sensor and heating pad are located, must be
cleaned after each use. Wipe with a soft damp cloth and be sure to dry thoroughly.
8. Never use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads to clean any of the parts.
Cleaning the Pressure Regular Knob
ALWAYS check that the pressure regulator knob and the pressure safety valves are in
good working order before each use.
1. After the unit has cooled, remove the lid from the multi-cooker.
2. Press down and turn the pressure regulator knob counterclockwise past STEAM to
CLEAN and carefully lift to remove. Look through the removed knob to make sure
there is no particle build-up, and put it under running water to clean.
3. Turn the lid over and place it on a table top. Pull out the anti-blocking case. Using
a brush or toothpick, check and remove any food or foreign particles that may be
lodged in the pressure discharging tube that is located inside the anti-block cover.
Replace the anti-blocking case pressing it down back into place.
4. Replace the pressure regulator knob by lining the CLEAN dot with the dot on the
lid of the unit and turning clockwise until it goes into place. The dot on the base of
the pressure regulator should line up with the PRESSURE or STEAM setting on the
pressure regulator knob. If it doesn't, remove the knob again and try realigning the
dots the other way around.
